I have it and like it. Better throttle response and smoother transition into V4-mode. I have stock vs. ported pics somewhere on this board, they hogged out a lot of material!

Good Question: What real world results have you seen? I am interested in doing exactly what you have done...and the 64,000 dollar questions are: Does it make a difference and how?
It feels better and sounds better...but no, I do not have real hard data. My plan was to get it on the dyno...but life got in the way. I did a stock baseline at 386whp on a Mustang Dyno and plan to do a before/after dyno in the near future once my ported/coated exhaust manifolds are ready for testing.
I have side by side pics of stock vs WeaponX TB in my build thread. I dyno'd it with all my other mods done and got 430HP and 436TQ without touching timing..

Was the car set correctly when you dynoed? 386 seems low for stock.
We hit around 420 stock on a Mustang

With the completely new tuning process of the E92 ECM--and after tuning my car myself with EFILIVE-----I actually had to DE-TUNE the TQ response tables from 0-20 MPH-The response was so much more aggressive in my post tuned car that it would lurch forward at every stoplight--Some customers like it that way but for most it is no fun to drive as you have to constantly lift every time you leave a stop light- On an un tuned car it may not be that aggressive---I am 100% happy with my T-body--
It's really just that lip / step that causes turbulence. Any porter is just removing that and smoothing everything down to create a path of least resistance.
I actually don't have Ben's on mine (I have Formato's), but they're identical in that the main 'culprit' is milled down.
I believe the original design was made with AFM in mind, and I know I've read that somewhere - damned if I can remember anything anymore, though!
What ??? You can't find a better mod right now for C7 for $150 other than a ported T-Body----Waste of money ?? No way !!! a waste of money is spending $1200 on a cat back exhaust or $1000 for a set of long-tubes---
The stock C7 T-body as other GM TB's has a huge lip on the bottom of the port--about a 1/4" or more---removing that lip makes the air flow cleaner and ultimately lets more air in---As a tuner I could see the added air thru out the RPM band with my data logger that proves it works--and as mentioned I had to de-tune my car to make it drivable as it became too aggressive---- Also---after the install the car immediately idled like at 1500 for 3-4 minutes until the ECM learned out the idle airflow---
